A sloppy lick for you
First off, my giant grey emo monster Ike wanted me to tell you all THANKS for all your kind words and thoughts you've sent his way and asks you to please send Swedish fish, k thanks. He also asked me to give each one of you a big sloppy virtual lick from him, but I think I'll pass on that one. Sometimes he thinks he's a big dog and licks everything <shrug>. He's been enjoying extra apples, ear rubs, showers and all those little things that keep horses happy.
Secondly, I hope you all have been having better luck with work this week than I have. It's as if everyone decided that because next week is a shorter work week and maybe even this week if they're lucky barstools and taking vacation, they're going to try and cram everything they have to do over the next two weeks into the next few days. For those office warriors left behind cleaning up the detritus, I feel your pain. Keep your head up - we'll make it through!
On that note, I'm going to try and grab some early morning hours of productivity but will leave you with this book review by yours truly on Danish mystery The Keeper of Lost Causes, recommended to me by Katrin of Land of Candy Canes, and one of the best author pictures ever. Enjoy!
He's so handsome.
ReplyDeleteThis too is a week where we're barely keeping our heads above. First week of school and all. I'm cutting us MAJOR slack, because, well, you know. First week of school and all. There's excitement and adjustment, but there's sheer terror that it will always feel this hectic and rushed.
ReplyDeleteI WILL take a lick from that sweet creature. Tell him Violet says hi!
Ike is awesome, but thank you for your discretion in not forwarding the lick. Maybe next time he could offer to share an apple instead.
ReplyDeleteHold on at work--we're almost to Friday. Mentally. I keep telling people to have a nice weekend when saying goodbye at work the past two days. Wishful thinking!
Aaaaaw....Ike is too cute. And you're right. That's the best...author...pic...ever. Imma totally pose like that if I ever become famous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie, now that he's out of his funk. I hear you about the killer office workload! I was out Monday for jury duty, I'm off Friday for the long weekend, and let me say, cramming 5 days worth of work into 3? Someone send cocktails! xo
ReplyDeleteAww, Ike is so adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you are such a sweetheart! Thanks for mentioning me! I am sooo happy that you like the book. :) You know, when I love a book then I want everybody else to love it too! Need to check out your review now!
What a dramatic big guy! Glad to hear your horse whispering skills are cheering him up! I can't blame him. I'm a sluggish brat when I'm too darn hot. He's super cute, your sensitive beast.
ReplyDeletei know! what is with this work week? it's only wednesday and it's just been crazy!
ReplyDeleteAwww Ike thinking he's a big dog is just too cute :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome guy! Of course the Texas heat made him cranky - it's enough to make anyone feel that way! Love that you've been spoiling him with extra apples and ear rubs. :)
ReplyDeleteThat´s a beautiful horse! Can´t wait until Tuesday when I have my next riding class! :-)

awww a sloppy lick :) Im glad he is feeling better- its funny how animals have one little thing to make their temperament off but I am SO glad it's an easy thing to fix.
ReplyDeleteugh office work- I hear your pain. I used to be there too but what will happen if everything doesn't happen? it's not like anyone is going to die or anything is on fire :)
i'll take a little lick. i am glad he's feeling better and hopefully he can handle the heatwave coming.
ReplyDeletewell, as you know i don't work in an office but this is always a tough time for me (retail is terrible at this time of year unless it's school related retail). but it's also an expensive time of year for me i forget both of these thing every year, d'oh! so i am feeling the stress on that end. xo
Hope he is staying out of the heat and feeling better!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of scrambling going on with it being the first week of school! We are anxiously awaiting our 3-day-weekend!
Hooray for Ike feeling better! If horse licks are as hilarious and disgusting as cow licks I hope he gives you tons!
ReplyDeleteI hope your week gets better, only two more days!!
I had Monday off and feel like that was not the smartest idea because this week has been crazy busy so far. Guess I need the upcoming three day weekend after this ;)
ReplyDeleteAh, so frustrating when that happens. But! The weekend is very soon and (hopefully) everything will be back to a normal workflow soon. You got this!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so happy to hear Ike is out of his funk. I feel his pain. I don't love the heat, either. It's highly over-rated!
ReplyDeleteWith that, Happy Thursday . . . only two more days to go 'til THREE! :)
